Fantastic agility session today as always. Sarah is a star at keeping Leia calm and focused on training over obstacles. Highly recommend from puppy class to agility and 1 2 1's. Can't wait for next week 🙌
I have attended Sarah's agility class for just over 2 years. We were complete beginners at the start and I was a bit nervous as to whether it would suit us. But with Sarah's lovely manner and her kind and gentle approach we knew we'd come to the right place. She is endlessly patient and positive and always puts the dog's welfare first. My dog absolutely loved the classes and enjoyed the stimulation of learning new things. Sadly, due to a health issue, we can no longer continue but I can't recommend Sarah highly enough and hope her business continues to thrive.
Excellent training with Sarah, we are more than happy with our experience at puppy class. Sarah is great to work with making the training fun for both you and your puppy. Mabel has come on leaps and bounds since the start of training and we are looking forward to more courses. Would thoroughly recommend 💯
Sarah worked with myself and Murphy in the Puppy group lessons sharing her extensive knowledge in a fun and inspiring way. Murphy came on leaps and bounds in such a short time. We will definitely return for the youth club sessions! 100% recommendation from me!

I love my training sessions with Becky who is a knowledgeable, calm presence and able to communicate with patience. My dog Winter respects her and is happy and vibrant when they work together. My confidence with handling Winter has grown immensely since we began training with Becky. Thank you for giving me the skills to ensure that Winter has a great life.
Becki has helped me so much with my new puppy learning so much, helping with our relationship and supporting me in my confidence in handling my dog. I couldn’t recommend her enough! Very supportive and has a lot of knowledge, I’ve grown up with dogs but my first time having my own puppy and she has helped me so much! Couldn’t recommend her more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We have been lucky enough to be supported by Becci for the last 4 years. Super organised, reliable & knowledgable about both pet & working breeds. Highly recommend & its great to have someone genuinely trustworthy when needed.
Becci looks after my May if I go away. May is a very excitable working cocker, she is very happy in the family home environment and gets lots of exercise. I feel very confident and comfortable leaving May with Becci
Becci has a VERY high knowledge and understanding of dog care, breeding, training and behaviours and has helped me with my female lhasa apso over the years who is now very well trained and I have knowledge and understanding to manage her new learnt behavioirs too. To breed puppies that become Police dogs too shows the quality service Becci provides. I haven't been disappointed and would highly recommend her for anything dog related! 🙂

I have completed both the Puppy and Teenager course with Susie and have been amazed at the results from both courses. The fact that both courses have been online has been brilliant and has made taking part each week a very easy process and has meant the much needed training was completed at home without any distractions. Susie is extremely knowledgeable, approachable and makes the training fun and inclusive for everyone. I will be definitely be signing up for future courses as everything we have done to date has helped teach myself, my family and my puppy to have a calm and happy life. I would recommend Susie and her training courses to anyone looking for help with their puppy/dog as they are 5*! In addition for anyone looking for daycare for their dog Susie has a fantastic setting and I feel completely comfortable and happy that my puppy is safe, and extremely well looked after and he always comes home happy and tired after a day at day care.
Susie is so lovely and helpful she is full of knowledge on dog training. I would highly recommend
Online puppy training classes with Susie got our GSD puppy off to a great start in life.
I have been very impressed with the quality of training received at Muddy Paws Dog Training. I was a bit disappointed at first to find out that all training was going to take place online, but I needn't have worried, as the online training worked very well indeed. Susie had plenty of time to explain the exercises, we were able to watch the accompanying videos without interruptions from our dogs and when it was our turn to do the exercises, we got plenty of encouragement and feedback to make sure we got the best out of our dogs. Another thing I really like is the fact that we got sent a copy of all the training sessions so we are able to go back to any of the exercises whenever we feel the need. Susie is very approachable and always willing to help with any questions you my have outside of the training sessions. I have no reservations at all about recommending Muddy Paws Dog training. My dog Charlie and I thoroughly enjoyed it, we have learned loads and are already signed up for the next course.
We have just completed the 6 weeks online Puppy Training with Susie and we had so much fun. Being able to train at home via Zoom was so beneficial for us especially during the pandemic. All the techniques were fun and the puppies learnt so much. It was great to have all the resources available online after the class to be able to recap on. Susie is a great trainer and is so approachable. Highly recommend and we are looking forward to the next online Zoom classes.

Brilliant. Great experience with chaz, helping us immensely with Jack and the difference in Jack our reactive lurcher is incredible. Can’t recommend highly enough
I can't recommend Chaz and Man's Best Friend Rescue and Training Association highly enough. We adopted our Labrador, David, as a rescue and quickly realized we needed professional help. David was uncontrollable on walks, pulling and lunging, and had some concerning behavioral issues at home. Chaz immediately understood our challenges. He tailored a training program specifically for David, focusing on lead work, manners, impulse control, and building David's confidence. The results have been incredible. We can now enjoy walks with David, and he's so much calmer and happier at home. What sets Chaz apart is his patience, understanding, and genuine love for dogs. He not only trained David but also educated us on how to be better dog parent’s. He's a true expert in dog behavior and training, especially when it comes to rescue dogs. If you're struggling with a rescue dog or just need help with training, don't hesitate to contact Man's Best Friend Rescue and Training Association. Chaz will change your life and your dog's life for the better. We're so grateful for everything he's done for us and David.
Fantastic results for our two boxers :-)

We had an appointment with Woof Dog Training on Friday. It's really making a difference. The whole family was able to take part and our dog gets to enjoy a new game whilst being trained to sit on the stairs when someone knocks at the door. It's totally working. It's given us all new confidence. Thanks Hannah at Woof Dog Training. We are looking forward to your support and experience. You have made a difference in just 60 minutes.

Our expertise addresses the unique challenges of dog ownership in this growing town, from navigating busy Newark Road to enjoying off-lead exercise at Mill Lane Playing Fields and nearby Whisby Nature Park.
North Hykeham presents distinct training requirements shaped by its mix of established residential estates and developing neighbourhoods. The town's proximity to Lincoln and excellent local amenities means dogs encounter regular traffic, pedestrian activity, and diverse environments. With easy access to Whisby Nature Park and surrounding countryside, proper recall training becomes essential for safe off-lead exercise.
Our trainers specialise in addressing common local challenges including traffic desensitisation along the A46 bypass, adapting to suburban living in newer estates, and building confidence for dogs visiting busy areas like the Co-op on Newark Road or the shops at Forum Shopping Centre. We understand that many North Hykeham residents commute to Lincoln, requiring dogs that can settle alone at home and remain well-mannered during evening walks through residential streets.

Training covers house training, crate training, bite inhibition, and essential commands, with controlled socialisation sessions helping puppies develop confidence around other dogs and people.

We develop dependable off-lead control despite distractions including wildlife, other dogs, and outdoor activities, ensuring your dog responds reliably whether at Mill Lane Playing Fields or exploring nearby rural footpaths.
Our behaviour modification programmes address leash reactivity on residential streets, fear-based responses, and barrier frustration common in suburban homes. Using positive reinforcement techniques, we help dogs learn calm responses to triggers encountered during daily walks, building tolerance and confidence throughout the local area.
